- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The ultimate parent company, Bruker Corporation, has formally indicated it will provide sufficient funding to the company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements, thus the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
